Stay away from Conan

Chapter 166 Approval

"I guess he might have actually gone to the villa that day, but he met the real murderer, so he was threatened by the murderer, and the murderer used the text messages to kill people."

Gao Yuan said helplessly, "But now it seems that this conjecture is no longer tenable."

Could it be that my reasoning was wrong?

After all, if the murderer's method that day really used text messages, then Kubo Haruki must have played an important role in the process.

But if you want to prove this, you still have to find a way to dig something out of Kubo Haruki's mouth. But it might not be easy to get something out of him, and he has been arrested by the police now.

For now, as Ryoko Nishio mentioned, we can continue to dig deeper into Haruki Kubo’s strange attitude that day.

However, without more clues, I still can’t figure it out at all.

Really, I don’t know exactly what I have to check in this “Phase 2”. It’s completely different from the last promotion challenge mission, where every step was explained very clearly.

"Then Mr. Akechi, what should we do next? Maybe after today, I will leave Kyoto, but I really hope to catch Keiko's murderer before that!"

"Leaving Kyoto? What's going on?"

Gao Yuan asked slightly surprised.

"Because I am not from Kyoto."

Tie Zhuyu said, "I'm just staying at Sister Hongye's house these days. Now if the police investigate in the direction that the murderer may be targeting me, they will definitely notify my mother, and my mother will definitely not let me go again." Stay in Kyoto.”

Then, Tie Zhuyu said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Akechi, for not introducing me in advance. My home is in Ekoda Town, Tokyo, and my mother is the president of Tie Group Company. If the murderer this time is really coming for me, Maybe it has something to do with my family.”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Then we live quite close. I live in Mihua Town, Tokyo. This time I came to Kyoto..."

Suddenly, Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in front of him with wide eyes——

Wait a moment! The name of this case is "Famous Family in Kyoto"!

I heard Ooka Momiji and the others say before that the Ooka family has a good relationship with the Tie family, so I naturally thought that Tie Zhuyu was also a famous lady in Kyoto. But now, according to Tie Zhuyu, she is indeed a eldest lady from a famous family, but she is not from Kyoto!

Moreover, speaking of Ooka Momiji, her hair color is also brown!

For a moment, a bad thought occurred in Gao Yuan's mind - Nishio Ryoko who left just now!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan suddenly rushed out of the box. He was about to leave the cafe, but was stopped by the waiter. In desperation, Gao Yuan took out two banknotes, handed them to the front desk, and walked towards Qinglian College without hesitation. He ran in the direction of Gao Yuan, and Tie Zhuyu who followed him was also stopped by the waiter. After receiving the change, he immediately chased in the direction of Gao Yuan.

Soon, Gao Yuan ran to the entrance of Qinglian College. Looking at the closed school gate and the deserted streets, Gao Yuan stopped with a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Akechi, what happened?"

Tie Zhuyu also ran up at this time and asked nervously.

"No, it's okay, I'm just overthinking."

Gao Yuan said with relief.

"is that so?"

Tie Zhuyu said, and then looked at the gate of Qinglian Academy aside. Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, Miss Moroyu, let me ask you, do you still feel like you are being followed today?"

Gao Yuan asked.

Tie Zhuyu shook his head.

So, without further entanglement, Gao Yuan took Tie Zhuyu back.

"By the way, can I ask you something?"

On the way, Gao Yuan suddenly said.

Tie Zhuyu nodded.

"Even on the day we stayed together, were you always acting with Ms. Momiji Ooka, and Haruki Kubo was always hanging around you?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"That day, I did spend most of the time with Momiji-san, but if I have to say it, Kubo Haruki seemed to only be pestering me."

Tie Zhuyu was a little relieved and said so without any further concealment.

"That man really tried every means to get close to me that day, especially when he was in the convenience store..."

Tie Zhuyu continued to speak, his tone becoming increasingly angry.

"You know, Mr. Akechi, that man actually wanted to slander me as a thief in order to get close to me!"

Speaking of this, Tie Zhuyu seemed to vent all the anger stuck in his heart here. Fortunately, there was no one else on the road at this time, so Gao Yuan just became a silent listener.

"That person secretly took something from the store and put it secretly into my bag. Then he quietly complained to the female clerk in the store and asked the female clerk to search my bag, making the clerk think I was a thief. Then he showed up again to help me out."

Tie Zhuyu angrily narrates what happened that day.

"The female clerk insisted on asking Sister Hongye and I to show our student ID cards and said that we would report our behavior to the school. Sister Hongye and I were very angry at the time, so we ignored her, and then the person came out to help us like a good person. To save the situation. Fortunately, another clerk in the store checked the surveillance and discovered that it was actually the person who stole the goods, so he was punished by the clerk. "

"that's all?"

When Gao Yuan heard this, he asked with some confusion, "The clerk just let him go?"

"I don't know. Because of this incident, I was in a very bad mood, so I went back early, and then I met Keiko..."

As he said this, Tie Zhuyu felt a little disappointed.

After that, Gao Yuan and Tie Zhuyu talked a lot about the day they spent the night together. Then, because there was no clue for the time being, Gao Yuan sent Tie Zhuyu back to Ooka Hongye's house.

But, what should we do next?

This promotion challenge mission feels like a failure. After all, "Phase 1" only received a "B" evaluation, and "Phase 2" I am now confused. What should I do?

Judging from the current clues, if everything is as expected, then you need to start investigating from that text message. However, as physical evidence, Okumura Keiko's mobile phone is now at the police station, and Kubo Haruki, who may be related to the text messages, is also at the police station. This is not easy to handle.

But if his reasoning is wrong, then everything will have to be pushed back. After all, judging from the name of this promotion challenge mission, the "Famous Family of Kyoto" should be related to the Ooka Momiji family.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Yuan finally made a helpless decision, so that night, in the interrogation room of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, Gao Yuan saw Kubo Haruki——

Shamelessly, Takato approached Officer Megure and Officer Inukai Genichi whom he had met before in Kyoto. For the sake of these two people, Takato revealed his identity as a detective and finally got the approval of Officer Ayanokouji Fumimaro, who agreed with him. Chat briefly with Haruki Kubo.

"So, why do you prefer girls with brown hair?"

"That must have been four years ago. When I was traveling in the United States, I met a girl with brown hair. From then on, I could never forget her!"
